Cup cakes for birthday

Shers,
Lovely fruit tarts you have made,
such an inspiration..
Great job!!

I guess cupcake is quite "hot" in the market.
Easier to consume, no mess and no fuss in cutting and distribution.
Best of all, you can personalised each and every cupcakes to make it unique and special in itz own way or follow a theme on the occassion.
Each will choose their personal favourite and enjoy the cupcakes. Nice and cute cupcakes are too good not to eat..

Eron,
Thank you for your compliment..
Yellow sunflower will stand out if using darker background icing (like pic)..
Try making it too ya..
 


Shers,
it means after mixing the milk and egg, Strain it through a sieve. hope this clarifies.

hahaha... I use my fingers to grease the tray. So u use brush to grease the tray, dry wif tissue than apply icing sugar wif fingers? Will the icing sugar blend in tog wif the oil on the tray? Donuts not sticking to tray definitely save a lot of time on cleaning
To me choc taste better when chilled

jj
U hv a nice new hse during CNY

Do u do smth to the peak of the cup cake or juz leave it n do the deco?
If u decorate the cup cake the next day, do u keep the cup cake in the fridge?
The box u made v nice wif border somemore. Is it ready made box or u made the box yourself?
 
Shers

Nice fruit tarts. Do you use peach for ur fruit tarts.
This is the cupcakes recipe that I manage to find from the previous thread.

Vanilla Cupcakes

Ingredients:
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar (I use 3/4 cup-don't like too sweet; or may reduce to 1/2 cup)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 x eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:-
In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using electric mixer on low speed, mix in butter, milk, eggs and vanilla; beat on high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Spoon into 12 paper-lined or greased muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full. Bake in centre of 375?F (190?C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 2 weeks.) Variation: Chocolate Cupcakes - Reduce flour to 1 cup and baking powder to 1/2 tsp. Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 1 tsp baking soda to dry ingredients. Sift before adding butter and wet ingredients

Fold is a technique used when combining a light and airy ingredient into a heavier ingredient or mixture in such a way as each ingredient maintains its original volume. Start by placing one quarter of the lighter mixture on top of the heavier mixture.
 
I tried many times before to adjust the height of the cupcake so that it doesn't rise up too much, else put the batter slightly above half full depending on the recipe.

Something to share with you if your cupcake rise too much and you wanna create differently. Try this from Martha Stewart.
I did this sometime back. Slice the peak off and decorate it on top. I used mini M&M's for the deco. Here is my "bug and butterfly"

If leave it over night before doing frosting the next day, place the cupcakes in air tight container room temperature will do.

Ready made box bought (can get it in SKP or PH).
For the border I used paper ribbon.
 
nikonnet1,
My cupcakes made that day was chocolate flavour.
Oops, didn't take a shot of it when cut into half and show you the inside.
All fully consumed.
Will show you the next time ya..

hi waty young mama,
yeah i think i spell wrongly your name, yes yes, those cuppies & lapis cake was meant to wish you selamat hari raya....
our family have a good relationship with our neighbour, so when hari raya (either haji or idil fitri), i no need to cook, they will supply us ketupat, lontong, sambal goreng, rendang etc.... hm... hungry liao...
then i made some cuppies & lapis cake for them...

hope everything fine with you, long time never see you login? muz be buzy with your lovely kid.

jj, very lovely your fondant. your penguin won't topple huh? so worry for him. Hehe..
i wonder how butter cream and fondant work with your cup cake. Fondant not suppose to put in fridge whilst butter cream needs to be in fridge. So where you put your cake huh?

Hi,

I used my fingers to press down the tart pastry. But i greased the tray because mine is not those non-stick tray.

I used kiwi, strawberry and longan. These are what i found in supermarket. Cant find other suitable fruits.

I will try out egg tarts and cupcakes this sat and sun..

me bringing my 6th month gal for swimming class this sunday. Not sure whether she likes ornot.. heheh.. hopefully can do 'bare' cupcake for a start on sunday.

Thanks mummies for sharing the receipts!

Yesterday i went to popular and i bought a receipt book on muffins (alot of favours) and teacakes. Will try out one of the days..
 
Hi Moody,

what do i need to make ahead?

(Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)

And which method i need to use folding?

Fold is a technique used when combining a light and airy ingredient into a heavier ingredient or mixture in such a way as each ingredient maintains its original volume. Start by placing one quarter of the lighter mixture on top of the heavier mixture.
 
n2inpink,
